OlmoEarth v1.1: A more efficient family of Earth observation models
Hugging Face Blog 1 month ago
Allen AI released OlmoEarth v1.1, an updated family of satellite imagery models that reduce computational requirements while maintaining performance on earth observation tasks. The new models cut compute costs by up to 3x compared to v1 by decreasing token sequence length, achieved by collapsing multi-resolution Sentinel-2 bands into single tokens instead of separate ones. Organizations can now run planet-scale mapping tasks more frequently and affordably, with faster inference and fine-tuning times.
